Thu, 19 May 2011 22:24:51 +0000http://thenextfamily.com/?p=11543#comment-18866You continue to surpise me, just like your grandmother. I was 30 when I realized she was a very smart and talented woman. Kind of slow I know. Your mom and I have had a whole bunch of good times, and some not so hot times, as you well know. But we still love each other and have been together for over 48 years. If we can find love in our realtionship every day, thats a very good thing.

Love you and tere,

Dad

Thu, 19 May 2011 15:17:49 +0000http://thenextfamily.com/?p=11543#comment-18820Glad to know that I’m not the only one who has moments of cynicism, too! While we were at Disney last week, we kept seeing young newlyweds in their special bride and groom mouse ears. Part of me went “awwww look, young love.” But the other part of me went “awwww I wonder how long before they will be divorced.” It was disgustingly sad that I think that way now. I don’t ever think that way about us – it’s just not there, not in my thinking in regards to THIS marriage (like it always was in the past). But sad to me that I look at young couples and wonder how long it will last.

But I’m with you – a dance can sometimes sweep out all of the cynicism and bring back all the mushy, lovey feelings that we need to remind ourselves of! Glad that you got your dance girls!

Then I am instantly ready to behave and be less cranky and judgmental, at least for a while!

Thu, 19 May 2011 09:35:58 +0000http://thenextfamily.com/?p=11543#comment-18754I am probably one of the most cynical persons on Earth, but when it comes to myself and my 9-year relationship I can be the most positive and sappy too. I really wonder how kids will change us and I can’t help but think that it will be even more blissful than it is now. But if we argue over the cats, how will we be able to get along when we have a kid or two? I just hope we will always find a way to laugh at ourselves and just be a silly affectionate happy family. I tell myself that as long as the parents are in love and happy about their lives, kids can only add to that happiness. I said I was sappy!

I just wish mine danced!

The song was “It’s Your Love” Time McGraw/Faith Hill. It was an unexpected gift at an unexpected time – like the Heather I married.
